While Vernon races to get as much of the pipeline built before winter arrives, I have my own projects.
The downfall to two huge cottonwoods in your yard is the large amount of leaves. Thankfully, the Wyoming wind does help blow some of them away… After years of raking and hauling leaves away in a small garden wagon, I’ve finally figured out the easy way to clean my lawn. Using my leaf blower to create piles, I then spread out a small tarp. A couple of minutes raking the pile onto the tarp and I have 3-4 wagonloads. Gathering the corners, I can easily drag it away to compost. Why did I not do this for years? Well, barring the fact that I haven’t had a leaf blower…
I also have been wanting to get more firewood in my woodshed before the snow flies. We have a tremendous pile of firewood from our logger friend so it’s easy enough to acquire, it just must be cut into lengths. My little battery chainsaw isn’t up to much, but I did get a small load.
With half of it split and stacked, I have only to finish this bit… then go get more and more!
